JUST ME

His younger brother Federico was born nine years later, who Danilo is
very fond of. He spent his first three years of life in Bologna (now defined
by everybody the "city of basketball" ...), then moved to Verona
for a year and then two more years in Livorno. It 's just in Livorno that
Danilo took his first steps on the basketball courts. His school career
began at the Elementary School "G. Galilei" in Graffignana (LO),
where his family lived. After five years of elementary school, to meet his
basketball needs and for logistical reasons, he enrolled at the school "Ada
Negri" in Lodi: here he lived with his maternal grandparents with whom
Danilo is particularly fond.

By choosing to pursue his passion for basketball, he moved in Codogno
(LO), attending the High School "Novello" for three years.
The following passage to the Pavia Edimes led him to attend
the fourth year in high school "Copernicus." Danilo graduated
in 2007 at the Studium Institute of Milan with a score of 70/100. He decided
to continue his studies and he enrolled at the Università Cattolica del
Sacro Cuore of Milan to the degree course in Human Sciences and Philosophy.
He made his debut in Serie A in the 2006-2007 season with
Olimpia Milano with which the following year he also competed in the Euroleague.
In April 2008, he declared eligible for the NBA Draft. In June, at the NBA
draft, he was called to the sixth overall pick by the New York Knicks of
coach Mike D'Antoni. After two years and a half, in February 2011, he began
a new challenge: in Denver, where he represents the first offensive option
of the Nuggets, with which is still under contract. In September 2011, he
signed an agreement with Olimpia Milano EA7 until the end of the NBA lockout.
